Abstract
Monitoring the health conditions of the environment and humans is essential for ensuring human well-being, promoting global health, and achieving sustainability. Innovative biosensors are crucial in accurately monitoring health conditions, uncovering the hidden connections between the environment and human well-being, and understanding how environmental factors trigger autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and infectious diseases. This review evaluates the use of nanoplasmonic biosensors that can monitor environmental health and human diseases according to target analytes of different sizes and scales, providing valuable insights for preventive medicine. We begin by explaining the fundamental principles and mechanisms of nanoplasmonic biosensors. We investigate the potential of nanoplasmonic techniques for detecting various biological molecules, extracellular vesicles (EVs), pathogens, and cells. We also explore the possibility of wearable nanoplasmonic biosensors to monitor the physiological network and healthy connectivity of humans, animals, plants, and organisms. This review will guide the design of next-generation nanoplasmonic biosensors to advance sustainable global healthcare for humans, the environment, and the planet.

Food Chem 2023; 429:136925. [PMID: 37480777 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023]
Abstract
Permethrin is a pyrethroid pesticide and insect repellent that prevents mosquito-borne infections like dengue and malaria in tropical areas. This work describes a new colorimetric sensor based on metronidazole-stabilized silver nanoparticles (MTZ-AgNPs) for the first rapid, sensitive, and selective permethrin detection. The MTZ-AgNPs-based colorimetric sensor has a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0104 µM and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.0348 µM, respectively. The sensor is further integrated with smartphone and microfluidic fabrication of paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) for real-time and on-site detection of permethrin. Under optimal settings, no potential environmental contaminants interfere with permethrin detection, confirming its high selectivity. Finally, the practical applicability of sensors is confirmed in real tomato and apple extract samples. The US environmental protection agency's recommended UPLC method validated the detection efficiency of the proposed colorimetric sensor. The % recoveries from UPLC and MTZ-AgNPs suggest that the present sensor can quantitatively analyze permethrin in real samples.

[PMID: 35361014 DOI: 10.1080/21691401.2022.2056609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to elucidate the optical functions of naturally butterfly wing scales via precise control of morphology as an effective photonic sensor and confirm the content of metal oxide nanoparticles in surrounding nicotine. Metal oxide nanoparticles mixed with nicotine were deposited on the wing scales through the spin-coating method and hence investigated using optical microscopy and spectroscopy. Experimental results demonstrated that absorption intensities of ZnO and TiO2 mixed with nicotine on Danaus genutia were remarkably enhanced. Due to the relatively high concentration of zinc found in e-cigarette aerosol, the intensity of ZnO/nicotine modelled as aerosol adsorption on Danaus genutia, further held a certain linear relationship with the concentration of ZnO. The limit of detection of ZnO was as low as 1 nM. The working mechanism of our sensor was explained through the molecular adsorption after H-bond formation of ZnO/nicotine molecules as high-index materials on the wing scales of Danaus genutia without aggregation. This photonic sensor is an alternative to the present-day methods for the rapid test of ZnO content, which is very simple without complicated instrumentation. Furthermore, our method might become a starting point for the advancement of portable instruments for onsite ZnO detection.

Detection of Permethrin pesticide using silver nano-dendrites SERS on optical fibre fabricated by laser-assisted photochemical method. Sci Rep 2019; 9:12590.

Abstract
Permethrin, 3-Phenoxybenzyl (1 RS)-cis,trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)- 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, has a wide range of applications like insecticide, insect repellent and prevents mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever and malaria in tropical areas. In this work, we develop a prominent monitoring method for the detection of permethrin pesticide using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) optical fibre substrates. The novel SERS-active optical fibre substrates were grown and deposited silver (Ag) nano-dendrites on the end of multi-mode fibre core by laser-assisted photochemical method. The characteristic of the Ag-nanostructures could be controlled by the experimental conditions, namely, laser illumination time. Ag nanoparticles optical fibre substrates and Ag nano-dendrites optical fibre substrates were prepared with laser illumination time of 3 min and 8 min, respectively. The achieved SERS-activity optical fibre substrates were tested with Rhodamine 6G aqueous solutions. We demonstrate that the SERS activity coupled with Ag nano-dendrites optical fibre substrate has higher Raman enhancement factor due to the creation of many of hot-spots for amplifying Raman signals. Besides, the stability and reproducibility of the Ag nano-dendrites optical fibre substrate were also evaluated with stored time of 1000 hours and relative standard deviation of less than 3%. The Ag nano-dendrite optical fibre substrate was selected for detection of permethrin pesticide in the concentration range of 0.1 ppm-20 ppm with limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.1 ppm and calculated limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0035 ppm, proving its great potential for direct, rapid detection and monitoring of permethrin.

Abstract
Here, we develop a new method to improve the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) activity of ZnO using Mg doping combined with noble metals. Highly aligned silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) decorated on an array of Mg-doped ZnO (MZO@Ag) were fabricated. Using rhodamine 6G as the probe molecule, SERS indicated that the MZO@Ag substrate possesses perfect sensitivity, homogeneity, and chemical stability. The enhancement mechanism of this substrate was analyzed in detail, and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations were used to examine "hot spot" distribution which generated gaps between the balls, the rods, and the stems. FDTD simulation calculated ( E/ E0)4 to be 2.5 × 106. Furthermore, the prepared substrates could degrade the target molecules in situ irradiated by visible light irradiation over the course of 40 min and then efficiently recover detectability through a recycling process. Our substrates were easy to fabricate, self-cleaning, and reusable. They are expected to provide new opportunities for the use of SERS in biological sensors, biomedical diagnostics, and food safety.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2019; 9:E672. [PMID: 31052374 PMCID: PMC6567300 DOI: 10.3390/nano9050672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2019] [Revised: 04/16/2019] [Accepted: 04/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The recent development of SERS substrates based on irregular nanostructures for directly molecule recognition has aroused increasing attention. By combining the irregular flake-like nanostructures of mantis wings, high SERS performance of Ag nanofilms, and the chemical stability of Au nanoparticles (NPs), an ultra-sensitive and flexible SERS substrate based on Au NPs functionalized Ag nanofilms-mantis wings (Au-Ag-M.w.) hybrid system is successfully fabricated. When 4-aminothiophenol is selected as the probe molecule, the limit of detection (LOD) is as low as 10-13 M and the relative standard deviation (RSD) is lower than 7.15%. This novel SERS platform exhibits high SERS performance in terms of sensitivity, reproducibility and practicability mainly because there are high-density and multi-level "hot spots" in the appropriate nanogaps. Meanwhile, it also systematically compares the differences of the SERS performance of Cu and Ag decorated M.w. hybrids and how these differences can alter their response. Moreover, the proposed substrate is employed to rapidly detect the pesticide residues on apple peels and the LOD for cypermethrin is estimated at 10-10 mg/mL. Therefore, this novel SERS substrate has great potential in rapid sampling of pesticide residues on real samples and expands the investigation to other natural materials for fabricating various SERS platforms.
